01 — The value exchange

Three sides. One agent. Zero accounts.

Supply is captured at zero acquisition cost through enterprise outplacement contracts; demand arrives from funded roles detected the week they are posted.

Supply — enterprise

Downsizing delivery centres

  • Documented outplacement mitigates risk under Codul Muncii (Acordul Părților)
  • Protects employer brand on Undelucram, Glassdoor and Reddit
  • Board-level cohort transition telemetry, fully de-identified
Supply — engineers

Senior CEE engineers

  • Zero resumes, zero job boards, zero portal black holes
  • A private agent that defends your B2B rate floor
  • Direct access to USD / GBP / EUR contractor agreements
Demand

Western tech buyers

  • Pre-audited senior talent instead of ATS noise
  • Locked B2B rates, €45–€72/hr, no rate surprises
  • Five-day time-to-interview through natural-language scheduling
02 — The interaction loop

WhatsApp on one side. Executive email on the other.

01WhatsApp

Inbound click-to-chat

The engineer always sends the first message — from a technical teardown or their company's outplacement pack.

02WhatsApp

8-minute voice intake

Radu digs for real production evidence: throughput, latency, database bottlenecks, and the non-negotiable rate floor.

03WhatsApp

Audit card approval

A 4-bullet technical spec card goes back instantly. The engineer edits it or replies “Approved”.

04Email

Funded role detected

Active openings on Ashby, Greenhouse and Lever are ingested and scored against the audited pool.

05Email

De-identified pitch

“35k TPS Go/Kafka architect, €55/hr.” Three architectural achievements, no attachments, no links, no name.

06Email

Contract-by-reply handshake

Before anyone is unmasked the manager must reply “Confirmed” to the contingency terms — enforceable under UETA/E-Sign, UK and EU statutes.

07WhatsApp

Candidate double opt-in

“Alex @ DevTools wants an intro. Reply 1 to accept.” Nothing moves without the engineer's consent.

08Email

Intro + calendar slots

Direct introduction with three availability slots in the manager's timezone, then an automatic invite with a Meet link.

03 — Live on the desk

De-identified today. Interviewing this week.

04 — Enterprise supply engine

Restructuring companies pay us to place the people they are letting go.

Under Codul Muncii, collective exits run through mutual separation agreements. Codifying a 90-day executive re-allocation programme into severance terms creates a legal paper trail, protects the employer brand, and hands us a verified senior cohort at zero acquisition cost.

“In addition to compensatory payments, the Employer provides access to an executive career re-allocation program via RADU for a period of 90 days.”

06 — Structural de-risking

The four traps that kill talent marketplaces, closed by design.

No disintermediation

The candidate is unmasked only after the contingency terms are cleared by reply. Every handshake is timestamped and logged.

No cold outreach

Inbound-only supply. Engineers arrive through teardowns and formal outplacement covenants, so nothing reads as phishing.

No inventory decay

Demand-first onboarding plus a 30-day WhatsApp pulse keeps the pool verified instead of stale.

No misclassification risk

Turnkey B2B contracts with right-of-substitution clauses, and an EOR fallback for IR35 or Scheinselbstständigkeit exposure.

Two messages. One introduction. Five days to interview.
